Mary Beth Aftershocks Lyrics

Aftershocks Lyrics

The drama's faded and the dust has settled down

And the looting's over and
the fires, I guess they're finally out

And life goes on and on and on,
though slightly shaken

No more urgerncy or screaming or things
breaking

And we've been here before

Bracing ourselves on the
doorways



For the aftershocks... They'll get you every time

The aftershocks... Just when you think you're fine



The ocean
doesn't seem to mind

And the sky still looks the same, if a little
gray

So I'll just drink this rescued wine

And wonder why i came,
anyway

And we've been here before

Standing scared inside these
doorways

Waiting for the aftershocks....



For the
aftershocks.....



On the day you left I did all those broken lover
things

I stood out on the stormy beach, staring at the tide

A
heroine in a romantic, tragic scene from far away

For weeks I cried...

At every afterschock...



For the aftershocks....
